Taiwanese food in downtown Puxi has traditionally been the purview of second cousins Charmant and Bellagio. Somewhat ignored is Qian Qiu Shan Fang (千秋膳房) on Baoqing road, a few blocks down from Charmant. What it lacks in decor and vibe it more than makes up for with competent basics and great value for money.

The group that brought us the popular Bellagio chain is clearly aiming to offer something grander and more upscale with the opening of Fontainebleau Cafe (风丹白露). Located on the nondescript corner of Hongxu and Yan'an roads, a block north of the backside of the Hongmei Pedestrian strip, this new venture combines Bellagio's distinctive flair for presentation, competent cooking, and beloved desserts and refreshments with a newer and broader canvas of regional Chinese cuisine. The result is an utterly delectable pan-Chinese offering that is bound to make Fontainebleau a preferred destination for diners located in the Hongqiao/Gubei area as well as for those of us closer to downtown.
